Sorry Wen - Just seen the notification for this.

Is this still happening? - It can happen sometimes (unrelated to your original problem), and usually rights itself.

If not, try following the steps here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283807

From the Microsoft support link above, did you try the compatibility view part under "I can’t see pictures on a specific website" at all?

Also, try a different browser and see if the images display in that.

Since you installed Spybot Search & destroy, have you used the immunise feature at all?

just downloaded firefox and I can see everything again. I know I'm being a bit thick but is that ok to use permanently as a browser? I have heard of it before but never used it.
Thanks

Yes, you can use it permantly if you want - at least it narrows the issue down to it being a specific problem with Internet Explorer, so any troubleshooting steps can focus around that.

There's lots of information about the browser (firefox) on the site I linked to - help with settings, add ons to enhance your browsing experience etc - and of course I'm sure there are always people willing to help out here.

You can set it as your default browser if you wish:
